The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1887-06-30
DAsHEs HERE AND THERE.

Richmond (Va) State: Sherman is
the arch South-hater of his time.
st. Louis Republican: John Sher-
mans Springfield speech advertises
him as coprolite of paleozolic politics.
Chicago Nesos: For President in 1888:
John Sherman of Ohio. Platform: 81
and my mouth against any two.
Alexandria (Va.) Gazette: His hope
of support from the South having been
dissipated, his sole reliance is now
upon the North.
Chicago Tribune: John Sherman is q
great man, but his Presidential boom
appears to be frozen hard enough to
skate on already.
Petersburg Va-) Indez-Appeal: The
further John Sherman gets away from
the South the more his speeches seem
to be dominated by the spirit of Miss
Liza Pinkston.
| Indianapolis Nesos: There is much
that is old and little that is new in his
speech. His aim is to convince his
party that he is the man who should be
its next National nominee.
Chicago Herald: John Sherman ought
to be ashamed to make speech like
that at Springfield to people who are in
the habit of thinking with their heads.
He is two far West, evidently.
Fort Worth (Tex) Gazette: While
it must be conceded that Mr.. Sherman
is an able man, and that his speech ID
skillfully constructed, even his own
party will realize that it is antiquated.
Nashville (Tenn.) Banner: With
all his acknowledged ability as a
statesman, he is weak and small
enough as politician to pander to the
lowest prejudice to boost himself into
the Presidency.
New York Herald: Senator Sher-
mans great speech in Springfield, Ill. /,
will probably prove to be the banana
peel of his political career. The
future will be accomplished in three
movements slip up, slip down
and slip out.
Savannah (Ga.) Nesos: Whsn SEN
ator Sherman was in the South, a
short time ago, he softly cooed: "The
war is over.'' In Illinois he loudly
roared: The Confederate idea il
still alive, and is about to destroy
our institutions.
Washington Capital: The John
Sherman boom has evidently received
terrible setback from that speech oi
his at Springfield, Ill. Republicans
who had n ever talked that way before
are beginning to say they would a.
soon nominate Brother Blaine.
| St. Louis Post-Dispatch: The at
tempt to elect Hancock in 1880 on the
cry that Tlden was counted out by
fraud in 1876 did win. Mr.. Sherman's
attempt to elect himself on the cry
that Blaine was robbed of the Presi
dency in 1884 is similarly illogical
That tow-line does not reach him.
| New York World: The st. Louis
Post Dispatch says: 1T is charitable
to suppose that John Sherman is in
sane" Oh, no. There is great method
in Johns feigned madness. He ii
somewhat crazy to be President, bu
his mind is in most respects as clear a.
a bell. He is simply misguided.
| Washington Post: The Jesutitica
John may as well be reminded tha
no man can be elected President O.
the United States in this era of gooG
feeling who lends himself to the
mischievous business of stirring u,
strife, and who alludes to the Demo
cratic party as ''the left wing of tn,
Confederacy."
Binghamton On. " Leader: Johr
Sherman has quite badly broken uI
his presidential boom by such comica
efforts to hit upon the right way tt
turn his sails. In the South he was 81
glad that perpetual feeling of unity
existed between the North and South
and all went for harmony until h,
carried his boom over into Illinois
when he found his friends there hat
determined that the only issue the,
could make to warm up the people
would be to unfold the old disunior
flag, SO he floated the bloody shir
with a vengeance, and the heeler
cheered to the echo, but he finds th'
press of the North as well as the Soutl
criticising his double position, and de
precating the revival of war issues
Sherman is therefore sad and his boon
is already whitening up. Poor John.
